I have been a member of ACDA since my undergraduate studies, and I can say that ACDA has truly been a guiding force in my professional life. ACDA has provided instrumental opportunities to learn, network, and improve my craft. Through the various events, I have connected with professionals from diverse perspectives, and I have heard choirs that are some of the best representatives of our artform. In a profession where we are often isolated in our workplaces, ACDA has provided me with the vital resources and engagement outlets that are needed to grow professionally and build strong choral programs. “I am ACDA” represents a core element of what ACDA is all about, which is the fact that we could not exist without all of our members coming from all backgrounds and specialties. Each and every member brings a unique perspective that is necessary to foster a thriving and robust choral community. Together, we are ACDA. Something that is really exciting and inspiring in both my school and community choirs is the determination of the singers to continue participating in a high-quality choral experience. Though pummeled by the challenges of the past several years, our singers have remained committed to the beautiful art of choral music and have emerged from the pandemic with a renewed sense of purpose.
